Eureka’s First Ever

Beer Mile!!

Saturday, April 20

Halverson Park

For the uninitiated, Beer Miles are foot races in which contestants must consume 48 ounces of beer over the course of running a mile long race. They are interspersed, so contestants will drink a beer; run one-quarter mile; drink a beer; run one-quarter mile, and repeat two more times until one mile has been run and 48 ounces of beer consumed. Fastest time wins. In an age of extreme sports, a Beer Mile begs the question; Why not?

In addition to the Beer Mile competition, Halverson Park will be alive with live music, food vendors serving an array of tasty flavors and textures, and a beer garden-for non-competitors to get into the spirit themselves. If drinking beer while running isn’t your thing, there will also be a Root Beer Mile for the competition-minded, open to all.
